Last update date: 2020-08-09 13:32The government announced the implementation of voluntary free virus testing for all citizens. Three laboratories set up by the Mainland in Hong Kong will be responsible for the laboratory work, which has triggered concerns about sending data back to the Mainland.
Hu Dingxu, chairman of Huasheng Diagnostics Center, said in an interview that when the sample is sent to the laboratory, only a barcode is required, and the laboratory will not know other information. "A thousand barcodes will know that this is Mr. Chen, who is Ms. Zhang? "After the test, the positive samples are handed over to the government for tracking, and the negative samples will be destroyed. He said that the entire testing process in the laboratory meets the standards of the Center for Health Protection. He believes that both the government and the laboratory hope to keep all relevant information confidential, but if someone regards it as a conspiracy theory, there is no way.

Hu Dingxu, chairman of Huasheng Diagnostic Center and former chairman of the Hospital Authority, mentioned in the TVB program "Speak Clearly" today (9th) that when the collected sample is sent to the laboratory, only the sample and test tube will be available The bar code affixed on it will not know the identity of the person receiving the test. If the test result is positive, it will be sent to the government for patient and contact tracing. Negative samples will be destroyed. "Everything will not be kept." He emphasized that for laboratories, only test samples and barcodes are needed.
In response to the suspicion in the market, Hu Dingxu said that the testing process has met the standards of the Health Protection Center. If there is an independent third party who wants to inspect the process, he is open. However, if someone views the incident with a conspiracy theory, he can also question the independent third party’s statement. "You can't do anything about it. We are so sunny, open and transparent." He also said that I believe that both the government and the testing agency hope to keep all information confidential.
Hu Dingxu said that the virus can be inactivated by immersing in the sampling solution after sampling. (Screenshot of Huada Gene Video)

There are concerns that the virus may be leaked in the process of collecting, transporting, and processing samples. Currently, the test kit distributed by Huasheng instructs the tester to dip the swab into the sampling solution. Hu Dingxu explained that immersion in the sampling solution is the first time the virus has been exposed. Inactivation, there is no whether it will infect others. After the sample is sent to the laboratory, it will be inactivated a second time, and then the nucleic acid detection step will be performed. The process is very safe.
